Paella in Soho: A Shared Spanish Dinner at Jamon Jamon

If you are looking for paella in Soho, you are probably planning a different kind of meal from somebody searching for a quick plate of tapas.

Paella slows dinner down. One wide pan becomes the centre of the table, and everyone shares from the same dish. At Jamon Jamon Soho, freshly prepared paella is served alongside the tapas menu at 3 Caxton Walk, London WC2H 8PW.

Why choose paella in Soho?

Soho is full of fast-moving nights—shows, drinks, friends arriving late—but paella gives you a reason to sit down properly. It works best when dinner itself matters, not just when food is something to fit between other plans.

Seafood paella in Soho

Jamon Jamon’s current restaurant content includes seafood paella among its freshly prepared rice dishes. If that is the version you are considering, read our Seafood Paella in London guide for what to expect from the rice, seafood and sharing style.

Should you order tapas before paella?

Usually, a few tapas first make sense. The key is not to fill the table before the rice arrives. Two or three contrasting dishes can give you variety without turning the paella into an afterthought.

For ideas, start with Padrón Peppers, Gambas al Ajillo or Croquetas de Jamón.

Paella before the theatre?

If you have a fixed curtain time, tapas are easier to pace. Paella is a better choice when you have enough time to make dinner part of the evening rather than rush through it.

If timing is tight, see our pre-theatre Soho guide.
